BKKdreaming

The problem will be is the will find a few low level sellers and parade them in front of the press , 

but like most things around the World ( not just Thailand )  Mr Big ,  who thought up this idea will be over on the sides counting his money , 

But making a banknote is bad enough , making one like this will get you DEAD , 

I hope they catch "MR  Big"

check out the one price priority mail boxes and see if it will fit in one of those......

How heavy is this part ?

there is no surface / sea mail anymore out of the USA so everything goes Air , 

also figure the seller is paying 10% ebay fee. 

not sure what you are doing with the Mini , but maybe putting in a "smaller" browser might help , 

Opera seems to work pretty good and there are a few others that are small basic browsers....

I like Dylan , I have since he picked up that electric guitar ,.........

but Nobel prize ???????   

I better go see him this weekend out in the Desert Concert near Palm Springs.......maybe go down Highway 61......

so if you go a week BEFORE your birthday to get the  Temporary licence  , it is good for 24 months ?  or 13 months ?

Been playing with it a little....XP still lives :)

the last Google chrome browser for XP is Chrome 49 and you can find it on the web to download , but not from Google !

also put on Opera browser , updated Skype ,  added 7zip 

My $30 Motorola phone has a much better screen ,  but the Netbook is OK  and battery life is 5-6 hours , so good to watch videos, 

and they can go on the Hard drive or SD card

Anyone know a good program to use webcams as security cameras on XP ?   or maybe old Android phones ?

Hi

I bought a couple of these for $15 each to play with them.....the local school got rid of piles of them , 

they have 160GB hard drives and 2GB memory (that is the MAX it will take) and by todays standards are SLOW

Right now it has legal  Windows XP on it ,  I can get Windows 7 put on them without a serial number  , 

Any ideas what interesting things to use them for ?

I can watch YouTube  and Google Chrome is on it but Chrome is not supported anymore.....but old Chrome still works  .....maybe run Opera or firefox ?

I am thinking of just having an extra "screen" to watch  you tube or other simple things but maybe there are other things I have not thought of , 

Security system with USB webcams ?

Some kind of language learning software  ?

it is probably too slow for any games ( not a gamer anyway)

Put Linux on it  (not sure why?)

Anyway what do you do with your old netbooks - notebooks ?

thanks for your ideas

Do you know anyone that earns B3000/m?

many do not have paid work everyday , so 3000 baht a month may be all the make , 

opposite is true ,  if a repairman charges you $50 to fix something and it takes him 15 minutes , you think he is getting rich , because you think $200 an hour....but he may only get a couple  jobs a day.....

you can always play with numbers :)

Hi

I am looking for a website or App that will help in Pronunciation  and that uses the Google voice / translate engine 

I would like to type or "cut and paste" a word or group of English words  and have the program pronounce it in English

also it would be great if it can also work in Thai , but Google Thai speech engine does not seem that good , 

here is one but the English speech seems too fast  , https://speechpad.pw/prononce.php , 

this one works good too but has limited words    http://www.sanjaybhowmick.com/demo/pronunciation/index.php

Has anyone used an App or Windows program to teach English pronunciation ?

or learn Thai pronunciation

I hope its something already made , as it seems all the pieces are available thru Google services but  aimed more at translation and not pronunciation,

there are a few on Google play store but they do not seem very good, 

anyway I think this can help all of us , often  I see a word I am not sure of , and trying to sound it out ( as we were taught phonics  in school) does not seem right !

Thanks for your ideas

PS. For radio, try http://www.accuradio.com

 

 

accuradio is pretty good and has an Android app too .......thanks for mentioning it

the US $ was crazy high in the 80s  it was up to 3 ,50 DM and I think the UK pound was $1.10 or so ......

but then it went the other way and was 1.30 DM and about $2 for a UK pound......

Great way to make a profit if you have the balls for it :)

electric cars / bikes will kill people who can not hear them , 

so they better all come with a LOUD stereo :)

Around here the big bikes set off all the car alarms , pain in the aaass at 3 in the morning !

Sorry BORING ........

OK , it might have been overkill  with too many sellers right around the corner area , but why not just have them on one side of the walkway and not both sides ?

I am sorry to see all these places "cleaned up" , are there any numbers of how many more visitors they are getting ????

The street markets were the draw for many Thais  and  a few tourists , but mostly Thais when I was there....

I hope she shared with a couple other stuck drivers :)

I have done that a few times with  a cold bottle of water or a  cold Coke when we were stuck in traffic,

nice to have a big ice chest on a trip ......

What is the pay at Family Mart or 7-11 and for how many hours  ? ,  do they have to work 6 days a week ?

Do they get Hazard pay working at night ?

buy 900  more  Family marts has to hire a few 1000 people so the government is going its job of full employment

Klong Thom...........ooops..........

Hello guys,,

this recent post of BKK dreaming about GSM sim card tracker, how is it?

something like to mobile device to insert a sim card inside it to keep the tracking signals or else?

is there are tracking device connected with the satellites? or could be tracked by suck signals to locate the where the device around?

 

look up gsm tracker on ebay ,   you could call it a mobile phone with no screen or keyboard !

it just uses the mobile phone set-up / GSM sim card ,

you set it up to "call home" when it gets moved out of its area , or you can set it to "call home" every minute ,  when it is moving etc , 

I have no idea how good the cheap ones work , and if I was going to use it  in a car or truck I might just use an old mobile phone that has a GPS chip and android for the App,

Hope that helps

are there weekend street markets with  handmade trinkets , vintage clothes , vintage old junk ?

Hong Kongs style Klong Thom market :)

as I understand it , TrackR works by crowd sourcing , you need to have other TrackR users close to your lost item ,,

 ,

once you report it missing to TrackR  , it Pings  its location to a close TrackR user, ,

It needs many users to be all over the world and close to your lost item :)    ..........great idea that is not going to work most places

If you want to track , get a GSM sim card tracker, if there is cell service it will be able to track it......

one thing with the cheap tablets , make sure they have Google play store , some do not because they did not want to pay Google

is it 72 hour  layover between flights ?

or can it be when your passport is stamped and when you check back in at Airport and passport is stamped ?

and is this the same rules for USA passports ?  and do you also have to show hotel reservations ?

thanks for the info

a class act , we need more like him  RIP

The reason I started this tread was seeing more flooding pictures everyday on Twitter etc ,  and remembering how bad it was in the Big BBK floods ,

I doubt it will get that bad again , but they are still going to save the central city part of BKK , but only by letting other areas flood more ,

But as Thaidream said above , you can be stuck a long time , and there are nasties in the water ,

So does anyone know how far the electric voltage travels from the spot it contacts the water ?   and is still dangerous ?

I remember in old movies where they would "catch" fish by zapping them with electricity , I just do not want to be one of those  fish :)

Stay safe
